I didn’t expect to get pulled in so quickly, but I was. The story has that exciting feeling of stepping into a hidden world, the same kind of thrill I remember from the fantasy books I loved growing up. Riley feels like a normal guy who suddenly lands in something much bigger than him, and watching him figure things out and rely on his friends felt real. The pacing moves along without dragging, the magic is fun and easy to follow, and the friendships give the story its heart. It was an enjoyable read and I’m genuinely curious to see what happens in the next book.

This was really well done. I was surprised at how much this kept me engaged. I am excited to see where this one leads and will absolutely be checking out the next book in the series.

Riley Jordan sabía que crecer en el mundo mágico no garantizaba tener todas las respuestas. En su último año universitario en Lestoria, un reino escondido entre dimensiones, solo tiene claro que todo el mundo parece tener un destino menos él. Pero cuando un viaje mágico sale terriblemente mal, Riley y sus amigos irrumpen accidentalmente en la vida de Emma, una chica humana capaz de resistir la magia. Su encuentro desencadena preguntas prohibidas, secretos milenarios y un vínculo imposible de ignorar. Ahora Riley debe decidir si sigue la vida que otros trazaron para él o si desafía las reglas de un mundo que podría destruirlo todo por proteger sus verdades.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

This is a really interesting story dealing with a college for people with magic. There is a tight group of 4 in the college that will end up taking on a huge task to help save many. They have a friendship that reminds me of Harry Potter. It was a fun read with plenty of action.
